The Japanese language version of the CEDEC 2009 official site was updated today with first session details for the event. Interested parties can see the list of speakers for the various tracts, from programming to game design. English information will presumably follow in a future update. The overseas tract, which features overseas speakers, will also be unveiled in a future update.

CEDEC 2009 will also see big keynote addresses on each of its three days. CESA will be announcing these over the coming weeks. The September 1 speaker will be announced on 7/17. The other two days will be announced, respectively, on 7/24 and 7/31. At the official site, you can see a silhouette of the first speaker. Any guesses?
